“All progress is initiated by challenging currently accepted conceptions” – George Bernard Shaw.

Mr. Cardinell has developed Indigenous Health Solutions (IHS) with the true intension of Integrating past medical practices with current information technologies. I feel medicine and health science is about to undergo significant revolutionary positive changes; especially in the area of digitized medical information technology. I feel that indigenous peoples will be the benefactors of this change in eHeath technology; as this technology can be used to dramatically improve the quality of care, and reduce health costs. From my UN experience one of greatest needs of computer driven technology is the absolute requirement of having real-time, accurate, reliable, culturally appropriate disaggregated indigenous heath data; that would be recognized by various global agencies (UN, UNPFII, WHO, ILO, Pan American Heath Organization, Stats Canada, etc. ), This would include “data sovereignty” with personal health data, community baseline health data, national health data and finally international indigenous health data.

Mr. Cardinell believes we can initiate tribal health policy to include various facets of indigenous health that requires attention ie. women’s health, youth health, elders health, people with disabilities, substance abuse, indigenous mental health, also tribal holistic medicine. With accurate data and data collection, we can determine who has good access to health and who doesn't; this can inform policy makers and effect healthcare legislation.

Mr. Cardinell has assembled a tremendously talented medical team, computer engineering IT technology team and experienced business/ financial team. This team has many years of experience and has full access and support to numerous medical specialists, medical governing bodies, university medical schools, world health authorities and political support. This IHS team has direct experience within: UN and UN organizations, various university medical research teams, Indigenous medical schools, Canadian Space Agency, US Department of Defence (DOD), and many others.

IN CLOSING:

I would like to thank the reader for their serious time and careful consideration of Indigenous Health Solutions. I feel that we have leading electronic medical product(s) that combines all the latest computer driven technologies into one platform. We have designed our medical products to be implemented specifically to indigenous populations; as our health requirements have specific cultural challenges. We have also designed our health products with the capacity to be integrated into the newest and latest, computer digital health technologies. IHS has solved the issue of Indigenous Health Data Collection.
